Shannon’s Journey

The journey of each of our lives is unique. What we will experience tomorrow is entirely unknown, but as a traveler and conscious participant in our everydays, the tomorrows will soon be todays we delight to experience and become sweet memories of our life story.

TSLL blog is inspired by my own life journey, and while most of the content found here on the blog is publicly available for free, in an effort to keep some semblance of privacy, I have created the category Shannon’s Journey.

Each post found here is more personal, more intimate, revealing more of my life ahas, wonderings and discoveries. From life lessons learned on my travels abroad, life lessons realized as I reach my annual birthday milestones, as well as the monthly A Cuppa Moments where subscribers join me in my home for a 20-30 minute chat on the first of each month.

As well, my list of gratitude shared each month in Things That Made Me Smile This Month, So Far . . . is found in this category as well as Saturday Ponderings where readers will discover detailed thoughts, wonderings and personal sharings from my own life journey each month.

Please note: All posts in this category are exclusive to TOP Tier subscribers. You can learn more about subscribing to TSLL blog for unlimited and exclusive ad-free content here and read this post to understand why these changes were made.

Savoring the summer beauty in le jardin. The roses at Le Papillon - Julia Child shrub and David Austin's Albrighton rambler.

Ahhhh France - Normandy, France, and their colorful spring crops as seen during my trip this past April. I share this pic today because a new episode is on the podcast sharing My 10 Things I Do to Lessen Jet Lag (flying from the west coast to Western Europe), and nope, there is no cure-all, as I share at the top of the show, but there are things to reduce its effects. Tune in to Episode #333 on @thesimplesophisticatepodcast now wherever you enjoy your favorite podcasts.

Weekend calm and grounding (whilst 'standing' on the clearest blue water watching the trout swim below).
A new month begins and that means a new A Cuppa Moments w/Shannon video chat with fellow TOP Tier Members from around the world, each living their own unique simply luxurious life. 

This month's chat is more than 50+ minutes full of books, films, French series and events, take walks with Norman, spend time in my garden, articles that caught my eye and much more. 

Wishing you a wonderful start to July. 😌

In TSLL's free monthly newsletter which arrives on the last day of each month, along with the round-up of the month's post, an exclusive letter from the editor is shared with subscribers offering inspiration for the new month ahead. Just a handful of hours ago, June's monthly newsletter arrived in inboxes, and the letter this month focused on the discovering of a deeper peace and calm in my days than I have ever known before and sharing ideas for subscribers to savor and create their own as well. 

If you would like to sign up for this monthly newsletter (TOP Tier Members are automatically signed up), there are many routes to the page on the blog to do so: (1) click on the link in my IG profile and then scroll to Newsletters in the list, (2) visit the blog and click Newsletters in the upper right-hand corner or (3) visit directly ➡️ https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/newsletter-signup/

Wishing you a wonderful final day in this month of June. Bonne journée 😌☀️
